email form
Is there a form that comes with linksSQL to have people signup for a newsletter?

I see the newsletter link but it goes ot a page with more than one field.

I just want them to be able to sign for our newsletter..... so itshould only have the email field.

It only has name and email....Im sure your visitors won't mind entering a name :)

If you really want to remove that field the easiest thing would probably be to make the name field hidden and then use a default value like "Valued Client"

i want to incorporate it into a small area on my site... but it is giving me unknown field error messages..



This is what I put on my page.. but it gave me errors... i figured I could just capture there email.. but I guess not



<form action="<%db_cgi_url%>/user.cgi" method="POST">
<table border ="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><input name="Email" size="12" value="<%Email%>"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><input type="SUBMIT" name="signup_user" value="Signup"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Yep, as I mentioned you need to enter the name field as hidden so it doesn't cause errors. Or you'd have to edit the def file but I don't know if that would cause any problems elsewhere.
